1. One of these ways, which I cannot agree with, is increasing the cost of fuel.2. One of these ways, with which I cannot agree, is increasing the cost of fuel.

I think they both may be correct Dmitry but I believe the first is the one most people would use. That would be the common usage but in strict grammatical terms it may not be correct. I wish I could be more helpful!

peterbell1 is correct. Number 2 is technically grammatically correct, and it would be appropriate in a textbook or more formal type of publication; however, in everyday speech or, say, a magazine article or less formal publication, Number 1 would be more appropriate.

I knew our resident editor would settle this! I was afraid he needed to know right that minute so I took a shot. English isn't easy, even for us native speakers. Or is that "even for those of us who are native speakers"?

It is a full-length movie about opera. If you are a novice in opera, this movie will make you love and understand opera, and, if you are so-called expert, then, by watching the movie, you will find out many things you didn't know about before.

Could you please correct mistakes? One of the big questions is commas.

Firstly, it should be "a" so-called expert ...

I think the placement of the commas is - strictly speaking - grammatically correct. However, the second sentence is beginning to look a bit complicated, so it would be best to re-write it and maybe turn it into two separate sentences which are less complex and would involve less use of commas. Something like ...

If you are a novice in opera, this movie will make you love it and understand it. (I removed the second use of the word "opera" as it was being over-used at the start of your passage). Even if you are a so-called expert, then watching the movie will still teach you many things that you didn't know before. (For the second section, I made "watching the movie" part of the main sentence and used the word "teach" rather than "find out about", as it helps to simplify the sentence.)

So, my finished suggestion would be ...

It is a full-length movie about opera. If you are a novice in opera, this movie will make you love it and understand it. Even if you are a so-called expert, then watching the movie will still teach you many things that you didn't know before.

A full-length movie about opera. If you are a novice, this movie will make you love and understand opera; if you are an expert, you might appreciate seeing some aspects in a totally different light!

Dmitry, that's not proper grammar. The first sentence is not a sentence at all. The second sentence is awkward the way it's punctuated.

This should read as follows:

This is a full-length movie about opera. If you are a novice, the movie will make you love and understand opera. If you are an expert, you might appreciate seeing some aspects of opera in a totally different light.

I see! "A full-length movie about opera" - I wrote this because a movie title is before it and goes like this: "The opera story by Ricky Vernio - A full-length movie about opera".The second sentence wrote a man from New-York. He is a writer. I'll ask him again about it. Interesting!

I took journalism in high school and I was on my high school and college newspapers. There are a number of ways to express your opening thought. It comes down to elements of style. The way I wrote it is more "staccato" in style. It's direct and to the point. That's always a good way start an article and get the reader's attention.

I would also write "this movie will help you love and understand opera." This way you won't appear pretentious.
